This patch series adds support for inline encryption to the device mapper.

Patch 1 introduces the "passthrough" keyslot manager.

The regular keyslot manager is designed for inline encryption hardware that
have only a small fixed number of keyslots. A DM device itself does not
actually have only a small fixed number of keyslots - it doesn't actually
have any keyslots in the first place, and programming an encryption context
into a DM device doesn't make much semantic sense. It is possible for a DM
device to set up a keyslot manager with some "sufficiently large" number of
keyslots in its request queue, so that upper layers can use the inline
encryption capabilities of the DM device's underlying devices, but the
memory being allocated for the DM device's keyslots is a waste since they
won't actually be used by the DM device.

The passthrough keyslot manager solves this issue - when the block layer
sees that a request queue has a passthrough keyslot manager, it doesn't
attempt to program any encryption context into the keyslot manager. The
passthrough keyslot manager only allows the device to expose its inline
encryption capabilities, and a way for upper layers to evict keys if
necessary.

There also exist inline encryption hardware that can handle encryption
contexts directly, and allow users to pass them a data request along with
the encryption context (as opposed to inline encryption hardware that
require users to first program a keyslot with an encryption context, and
then require the users to pass the keyslot index with the data request).
Such devices can also make use of the passthrough keyslot manager.

Patch 2 introduces some keyslot manager functions useful for the device
mapper.

Patch 3 introduces the changes for inline encryption support for the device
mapper. A DM device only exposes the intersection of the crypto
capabilities of its underlying devices. This is so that in case a bio with
an encryption context is eventually mapped to an underlying device that
doesn't support that encryption context, the blk-crypto-fallback's cipher
tfms are allocated ahead of time by the call to blk_crypto_start_using_key.

Each DM target can now also specify the "DM_TARGET_PASSES_CRYPTO" flag in

[PATCH v4 1/5] block: keyslot-manager: Introduce passthrough keyslot manager

The device mapper may map over devices that have inline encryption
capabilities, and to make use of those capabilities, the DM device must
itself advertise those inline encryption capabilities. One way to do this
would be to have the DM device set up a keyslot manager with a
"sufficiently large" number of keyslots, but that would use a lot of
memory. Also, the DM device itself has no "keyslots", and it doesn't make
much sense to talk about "programming a key into a DM device's keyslot
manager", so all that extra memory used to represent those keyslots is just
wasted. All a DM device really needs to be able to do is advertise the
crypto capabilities of the underlying devices in a coherent manner and
expose a way to evict keys from the underlying devices.

There are also devices with inline encryption hardware that do not
have a limited number of keyslots. One can send a raw encryption key along
with a bio to these devices (as opposed to typical inline encryption
hardware that require users to first program a raw encryption key into a
keyslot, and send the index of that keyslot along with the bio). These
devices also only need the same things from the keyslot manager that DM
devices need - a way to advertise crypto capabilities and potentially a way
to expose a function to evict keys from hardware.

So we introduce a "passthrough" keyslot manager that provides a way to
represent a keyslot manager that doesn't have just a limited number of
keyslots, and for which do not require keys to be programmed into keyslots.
DM devices can set up a passthrough keyslot manager in their request
queues, and advertise appropriate crypto capabilities based on those of the
underlying devices. Blk-crypto does not attempt to program keys into any
keyslots in the passthrough keyslot manager. Instead, if/when the bio is
resubmitted to the underlying device, blk-crypto will try to program the
key into the underlying device's keyslot manager.

[PATCH v4 2/5] block: keyslot-manager: Introduce functions for device mapper support

Introduce blk_ksm_update_capabilities() to update the capabilities of
a keyslot manager (ksm) in-place. The pointer to a ksm in a device's
request queue may not be easily replaced, because upper layers like
the filesystem might access it (e.g. for programming keys/checking
capabilities) at the same time the device wants to replace that
request queue's ksm (and free the old ksm's memory). This function
allows the device to update the capabilities of the ksm in its request
queue directly. Devices can safely update the ksm this way without any
synchronization with upper layers *only* if the updated (new) ksm
continues to support all the crypto capabilities that the old ksm did
(see description below for blk_ksm_is_superset() for why this is so).

Also introduce blk_ksm_is_superset() which checks whether one ksm's
capabilities are a (not necessarily strict) superset of another ksm's.
The blk-crypto framework requires that crypto capabilities that were
advertised when a bio was created continue to be supported by the
device until that bio is ended - in practice this probably means that
a device's advertised crypto capabilities can *never* "shrink" (since
there's no synchronization between bio creation and when a device may
want to change its advertised capabilities) - so a previously
advertised crypto capability must always continue to be supported.
This function can be used to check that a new ksm is a valid
replacement for an old ksm.

[PATCH v4 3/5] dm: add support for passing through inline crypto support

Update the device-mapper core to support exposing the inline crypto
support of the underlying device(s) through the device-mapper device.

This works by creating a "passthrough keyslot manager" for the dm
device, which declares support for encryption settings which all
underlying devices support.  When a supported setting is used, the bio
cloning code handles cloning the crypto context to the bios for all the
underlying devices.  When an unsupported setting is used, the blk-crypto
fallback is used as usual.

Crypto support on each underlying device is ignored unless the
corresponding dm target opts into exposing it.  This is needed because
for inline crypto to semantically operate on the original bio, the data
must not be transformed by the dm target.  Thus, targets like dm-linear
can expose crypto support of the underlying device, but targets like
dm-crypt can't.  (dm-crypt could use inline crypto itself, though.)

A DM device's table can only be changed if the "new" inline encryption
capabilities are a (*not* necessarily strict) superset of the "old" inline
encryption capabilities.  Attempts to make changes to the table that result
in some inline encryption capability becoming no longer supported will be
rejected.

For the sake of clarity, key eviction from underlying devices will be
handled in a future patch.

[PATCH v4 4/5] dm: support key eviction from keyslot managers of underlying devices

Now that device mapper supports inline encryption, add the ability to
evict keys from all underlying devices. When an upper layer requests
a key eviction, we simply iterate through all underlying devices
and evict that key from each device.

Patch 1 introduces the "passthrough" keyslot manager.

The regular keyslot manager is designed for inline encryption hardware that

actually have only a small fixed number of keyslots - it doesn't actually
have any keyslots in the first place, and programming an encryption context
into a DM device doesn't make much semantic sense. It is possible for a DM
device to set up a keyslot manager with some "sufficiently large" number of
keyslots in its request queue, so that upper layers can use the inline
encryption capabilities of the DM device's underlying devices, but the
memory being allocated for the DM device's keyslots is a waste since they
won't actually be used by the DM device.

The passthrough keyslot manager solves this issue - when the block layer
sees that a request queue has a passthrough keyslot manager, it doesn't
attempt to program any encryption context into the keyslot manager. The
passthrough keyslot manager only allows the device to expose its inline
encryption capabilities, and a way for upper layers to evict keys if
necessary.

There also exist inline encryption hardware that can handle encryption
contexts directly, and allow users to pass them a data request along with
the encryption context (as opposed to inline encryption hardware that
require users to first program a keyslot with an encryption context, and
then require the users to pass the keyslot index with the data request).
Such devices can also make use of the passthrough keyslot manager.

Patch 2 introduces some keyslot manager functions useful for the device
mapper.

Patch 3 introduces the changes for inline encryption support for the device
mapper. A DM device only exposes the intersection of the crypto
capabilities of its underlying devices. This is so that in case a bio with
an encryption context is eventually mapped to an underlying device that
doesn't support that encryption context, the blk-crypto-fallback's cipher
tfms are allocated ahead of time by the call to blk_crypto_start_using_key.

Each DM target can now also specify the "DM_TARGET_PASSES_CRYPTO" flag in

This set looks good to me now.

To avoid DM needing another rebase on block: Jens (and others), would
you like to review patches 1 and 2 (and reply with your Reviewed-by) so
I could pickup the DM required keyslot-manager changes along with
patches 3-5?

Re: [PATCH v4 2/5] block: keyslot-manager: Introduce functions for device mapper support

On Mon, Feb 01, 2021 at 05:10:16AM +0000, Satya Tangirala wrote:
Introduce blk_ksm_update_capabilities() to update the capabilities of
a keyslot manager (ksm) in-place. The pointer to a ksm in a device's
request queue may not be easily replaced, because upper layers like
the filesystem might access it (e.g. for programming keys/checking
capabilities) at the same time the device wants to replace that
request queue's ksm (and free the old ksm's memory). This function
allows the device to update the capabilities of the ksm in its request
queue directly. Devices can safely update the ksm this way without any
synchronization with upper layers *only* if the updated (new) ksm
continues to support all the crypto capabilities that the old ksm did
(see description below for blk_ksm_is_superset() for why this is so).

Also introduce blk_ksm_is_superset() which checks whether one ksm's
capabilities are a (not necessarily strict) superset of another ksm's.
The blk-crypto framework requires that crypto capabilities that were
advertised when a bio was created continue to be supported by the
device until that bio is ended - in practice this probably means that
a device's advertised crypto capabilities can *never* "shrink" (since
there's no synchronization between bio creation and when a device may
want to change its advertised capabilities) - so a previously
advertised crypto capability must always continue to be supported.
This function can be used to check that a new ksm is a valid
replacement for an old ksm.

This works by creating a "passthrough keyslot manager" for the dm
device, which declares support for encryption settings which all
underlying devices support.  When a supported setting is used, the bio
cloning code handles cloning the crypto context to the bios for all the
underlying devices.  When an unsupported setting is used, the blk-crypto
fallback is used as usual.

Crypto support on each underlying device is ignored unless the
corresponding dm target opts into exposing it.  This is needed because
for inline crypto to semantically operate on the original bio, the data
must not be transformed by the dm target.  Thus, targets like dm-linear
can expose crypto support of the underlying device, but targets like
dm-crypt can't.  (dm-crypt could use inline crypto itself, though.)

A DM device's table can only be changed if the "new" inline encryption
capabilities are a (*not* necessarily strict) superset of the "old" inline
encryption capabilities.  Attempts to make changes to the table that result
in some inline encryption capability becoming no longer supported will be
rejected.

For the sake of clarity, key eviction from underlying devices will be
handled in a future patch.

BTW, the #ifdef for CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is error-prone (though it's a

have only a small fixed number of keyslots. A DM device itself does not
actually have only a small fixed number of keyslots - it doesn't actually
have any keyslots in the first place, and programming an encryption context
into a DM device doesn't make much semantic sense. It is possible for a DM
device to set up a keyslot manager with some "sufficiently large" number of
keyslots in its request queue, so that upper layers can use the inline
encryption capabilities of the DM device's underlying devices, but the
memory being allocated for the DM device's keyslots is a waste since they
won't actually be used by the DM device.

The passthrough keyslot manager solves this issue - when the block layer
sees that a request queue has a passthrough keyslot manager, it doesn't
attempt to program any encryption context into the keyslot manager. The
passthrough keyslot manager only allows the device to expose its inline
encryption capabilities, and a way for upper layers to evict keys if
necessary.

There also exist inline encryption hardware that can handle encryption
contexts directly, and allow users to pass them a data request along with
the encryption context (as opposed to inline encryption hardware that
require users to first program a keyslot with an encryption context, and
then require the users to pass the keyslot index with the data request).
Such devices can also make use of the passthrough keyslot manager.

Patch 2 introduces some keyslot manager functions useful for the device
mapper.

Patch 3 introduces the changes for inline encryption support for the device
mapper. A DM device only exposes the intersection of the crypto
capabilities of its underlying devices. This is so that in case a bio with
an encryption context is eventually mapped to an underlying device that

I resent the series (as v5) while addressing the comments Eric had on
Patch 3 (the changes were only to comments, so no functional
changes). I also added the acked/reviewed-bys.
